How Are Babies In The Womb For 9Months But Aren't 9Months When They Are Born

<span>You could easily define it this way. This would be valid. But for most of history it was unclear when a baby was conceived, so it would be silly for someone to say their baby was 9 months old when it was actually born at only 8.5 months. Days of conception similarly would not be a good substitute for birthdays because no one would know them. Then in general it was much easier to mark someone's age as when they came into the world as an independent being, and this tradition is far too entrenched (and simple and easy to handle and universal for people in poor countries etc) to think we would at all gain from now finding exactly the date of conception and counting age from that point.</span>

Strictly social convention.
Some ancient cultural traditions ... China, for example,
give a baby credit for 1 year when it's born.

A car was moving at 14 m/s After 30 s, its speed increased to 20 m/s. What was the acceleration during this time ( need help fas

Arada [10]

Answer:let initial velocity u=14m/s

Final velocity v=20m/s

Time taken t=30

Acceleration =a

V=u +at

a= (20-14)/30

a=0.2m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity with respect to time.

Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases. in other words, there is more air pushing down on you at sea level, and th

Nutka1998 [239]

At sea level, the size amid the 2 alkanes lets for pentane to simmer at a lower temperature than hexane. Phenol has a higher boiling point due to hydrogen bonding High altitude would have the same order while low pressure only cuts the temperature at which a solvent boils. Boiling has to do with molecular size, the occurrence/nonappearance of hydrogen bonds, and other steric issues.
So the answer would be pentane high altitude, hexane high altitude, hexane sea level, hexanol sea level. In order of boil first to boil last. This is clarified because altitude has a better effect on vapor pressure (and hence boiling points) than inter-molecular forces.

A 4 kg car with frictionless wheels is on a ramp that makes a 25° angle with the horizontal. The car is connected to a 1 kg mass

stellarik [79]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

W₁ = (4 kg)*(9.8 m/s²) = 39.2 N
W₂ = (1 kg)*(9.8 m/s²) = 9.8 N

The normal reaction on the 4-kg mass is
N = (39.2 N)*cos(25°) = 35.5273 N
The force acting down the inclined plane due to the weight is
F = (39.2 N)*sin(25°) = 16.5666 N

The net force that accelerates the 4-kg mass at a m/²s down the plane is
F - W₂ = (4 kg)*(a m/s²)
4a = 16.5666 - 9.8
a = 1.6917 m/s²

Answer: 1.69 m/s² (nearest hundredth)
